German actually did show up, and showed up to run. He was prepared physically and mentally, and looked pretty pumped. However, a couple minutes from the start he realized he had forgotten his spikes at home. He flat out refused to borrow another pair, they were of course, his lucky spikes that he always raced in. German refused to run the race in his trainers, the shame would've been unbearable...

Hmm , mentally ? If this post is true , this kid has every excuse in the book covered. These type of antics would be perfect for the Letterman show , "German's top ten excuses for not running ".I cannot wait to hear whats next !

yes, because there's a very good chance that was truth and not sarcasm.
